Wow, great stuff Anti. I must confess that some of the real specifics are lost on someone like me who has never played Football and never been taught anything Football related, but I am not afraid to admit as much. A few notes from the 2nd half :-

* Our 1st Offensive play in the 2nd half sees us pulling Manny Ramirez for the first time. Clearly not comfortable doing it, but he found his man (playside DE). However, Orlando Franklin is whooped at the LOS by JJ Watt almost instantly and he blows it up in the backfield for a short loss. I think the design was for Joel Dreessen to mop up the playside ILB, but it turns out that two Texan LB's sniffed out the play.

* 2nd down sees another inside stunt do enough to pressure Manning. Manny Ramirez ends up stood in space by himself for the entire play pretty much, as he doesn't read the stunt at all to help JD Walton. Ryan Clady has been absolutely perfect in pass protection so far in this game. 3rd down and Franklin gets bullrushed AGAIN by Brooks Reed. Ramirez had blocked Watt perfectly out of the play too. Franklin is play far too high this game; this is easily the worst individual performance I have seen from a Bronco this year.

* 3rd and 12 sees Carter back at Safety with Adams playing as a Nickel LB again. This time our front 4 is Miller at LE, Jackson and Ayers at DT and Elvis at RE. Ayers puts a lovely swim move on Chris Myers to get right in Schaub's face. I am pretty sure that is only the 3rd snap for Ayers, and on his 1st snap he got early penetration to disrupt a running play.

* Manning just isn't trusting his pocket. Has a perfect lane to step up into when Barwin runs way the circle way too wide, but instead Manning flees to his right._________________

I apparently confused myself as I had to edit some of that. But in any case I was just saying I figured Clady should block Brady James(playside Linebacker) after leaving the DE(who would be double teamed for a second by Clady and Beadles), and then the Fullback can still chip Reed if the play is to go outside but there's a hole where the DE Crick was moved from which would be even better.

And like I said, if it was a zone blocking system, the Fullback is basically another running back which means he has to choose to either chip Brooks Reed(as he did on the play) or try to block a donwfield Safety(or he could reverse direction and block Jamison or Connor Barwin, or do any number of things, but on this play it would seem logical to do one of the two things I mentioned before, I would go downfield) and the runner can either run outside or go where the DE is moved. Most likely he would go in the area that the DE was moved away from with James being occupied by Clady(and announcers would falsely describe the runner not taking it all the way outside as a cut, which it actually is not)._________________Stop slobbering over Brian Dawkins

Week 4 game day thread? I want to come in and talk ish before Manning throws down on the Raiders tertiary.

Yeah what the heck is going on? If i wasn't working all day and night this week i would make one. Elliott makes the best one's by far... By the way you saying all this stuff how Manning is going to torch your defense is really starting to make me sense he will throw 4 INT's on Sunday. Classic BP jinx._________________

Start a damn thread for the game against us so we Raider fans have somewhere to bug you guys. _________________#JihadWard

Stop pointing out Franklin's errors lomaxgr, that's not fitting into the established narrative that the Broncos interior line are terrible and the Tackles are great.

Nobody has said that our Tackles are great but there is no denying they are superior to all the interior players.

False. I was very wrong about tackle play thus far and I'll admit that. Franklin has not looked up to snuff whatsoever. Anyone who says Walton and Beadles look bad needs to watch more. They both look improved._________________

I've got to disagree. Granted, I don't have access to the all 22 or even regular replay, but from what I've seen this year I would rate Walton as vastly improved and with Kuper out the 2nd best O Lineman on the team.

Franklin is pretty much a mess. He's not even close to handling the edge by himself and rarely wins one on one match ups. Having kuper beside him last year covered a lot of Franklins warts.

I'm still not sold on Beadles, but he doesn't appear to be the liability he was last season and Ramirez has some real mobility issues.
